What is a C-section? A C-section is a surgical procedure in which a baby is delivered through incisions made in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. It is a common and often life-saving operation performed when a vaginal delivery poses risks to the mother or the baby. At Lotus IVF, our experienced obstetricians and state-of-the-art facilities are fully equipped to handle both planned and emergency C-sections with the utmost care and precision.

When is a C-section Necessary? Our expert medical team carefully evaluates each pregnancy to determine the safest delivery method. A C-section may be recommended or become necessary in various situations, including:

• Fetal Distress: When the baby shows signs of not getting enough oxygen or other distress during labor.
• Breech or Abnormal Position: If the baby is not in a head-down position (e.g., feet or bottom first, or sideways).
• Multiple Pregnancies: C-sections are often planned for twins, triplets, or more.
• Placenta Previa: A condition where the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, blocking the baby’s exit.
• Previous C-section: Many women who have had a previous C-section will have a repeat C-section for subsequent deliveries.
• Maternal Health Conditions: Certain health issues in the mother, such as heart disease, uncontrolled diabetes, or active herpes outbreaks, might make a vaginal delivery risky.
• Lack of Progress in Labor: If labor stalls or is not progressing despite interventions.
• Large Baby (Macrosomia): When the baby is estimated to be very large, making vaginal delivery difficult or risky.
